About once a year I make a work trip out to my company's headquarters in Stamford, CT. I always look forward to this because it gives me an opprotunity to make an extended trip to NYC to hang out with friends or to Rhode Island to visit family. This time, I extended my stay to visit my sister, Lauren, who has recently moved to Providence in order to take up a job at Brown University. I love traveling (even when it's for work) but it can be a little stressful when I'm trying to maintain a training regimen. Forunately, this trip was during a recovery week so I didn't need to get in any hard core workouts. I managed to get into a bootcamp class at my company's office. I absolutely loved it! It was only an hour long, but it was a really good workout. I need to find a class like that here (and then figure out a way to work it into my schedule).
Lauren is training for her first half marathon, the Providence Half Marathon on May 3rd. I'm really proud of her. Last year, she did the Tour de Cure which is a 60 mile bike ride to benefit the American Diabetes Association. She isn't on a team, she doens't have a coach, she just went out, bought herself a bike and trained with a friend. Amazing! She's also signed up to do her first triathlon in July. Lauren had her 7 mile training run scheduled for that Saturday, so we woke up early, laced up our shoes, and hit the streets of Providence. She tried out my run 9 minutes/walk 1 minute strategy. Peice of cake for the first 3 miles :) This was actually our first time running together ever! It was really fun, and Lauren was able to accomplish her longest run to date. When we returned home, we were greeted by Sugar Bear, Lauren's adorable little pug. The rest of our weekend was filled with wedding dress shopping, family visits (in Rhode Island & Massachusetts), mani/pedi, and of course a night out on the town.
Condition: So proud of my sister!
